The rapidmovement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks thefood.CookingCookware for microwave cooking:Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximumefficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminiumand copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic aswell as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.Food suitable for microwave cooking:Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozenvegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwaveoven.
